Hello,
“Is something flying around me? I feel
something tickling the back of my neck.” Leroy commented.
On inspection, there were several
gnats in the air by him. When we got home he said, “One of the gnats bit me.”
The spot was about two inches in
diameter, red, and swollen. I thought I had heard about putting on a paste of
baking soda. Leroy did that and it soon started to look and feel better.
Interesting, but I did not find that solution when I looked on line later. Did I
just make that up?
As with mosquitoes, the gnats do not
like me so much. However, I do not like them flying around and getting so
close.
We took a nice bike ride this morning.
The gnats were not yet so plentiful that it was a problem. The bikes give us
more speed to evade them.
We possibly rode about 12 miles which I
think was fine for my third ride this season. My bottom protested a bit. As we
traversed this trail, I thought about the grandchildren riding with us. They
are all getting big enough that I think they could handle it. There are
certainly smaller kids with adults out there, but I have no idea how far they
ride. At least I read that exercising outdoors is a good and fairly safe thing
to do. I just wish I had some grandchildren living closer. I talked with one
today about camping. Later I read that, depending on how you deal with it, it
is one of the safest activities to do with others.
